I Am

I am the world to people
I am that pebble you see in the dark
I am the rush of the ocean on a
cool breeze day
I am who I am


A Walk Down The Block

A walk down my block is different
from a walk down the block
Girls doing things you’d never imagine
dancing in clubs,
hanging out with thugs,
In the hood
boys hustling,
robbing,
fighting,
and more
kids throwing their lives away
with a walk down the block

My Endless Love For You

My Endless Love for you burns with 1,000 lights of the sun.
When I first met you, you made my heart sing,
so I asked you to spring fling,
we danced, and laughed,
we hugged and kissed,
we became best friends,
and you said our love will never end,
I cared for you night and day,
When I became your only love,
you kept on fronting on me,
You made me feel bad,
because you left me,
We fell apart,
we never talked,
for I still love you my endless love,
you were my friend
from above
you were my one true love,
and
My Endless Love burns for you with a
1,000 lights of the sun.

You Broke My Heart

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
I guess it’s true I’m leaving you,
because you cheated,
its not fair I guess we just
have to find a new pair,
because you cheated what are you stupid,
or are you just some defiant cupid,
you made me cry, and you hurt me,
my eyes were so watery it felt like the sea, because you hurt me,
I’m a get you back,
oh by the way,
 I lied to you too,
because I’m not 12,
I’m way younger than that
boy ohh I got yo back

Friends

Friends care,
Friends share,
they Jump and play,
they tell you the truth,
all day every day,
you get them gifts,
they get you gifts,
exchange, exchange, exchange

You fight then make up,
all day every day,
You can’t live with them,
and you can’t live without them,
You love them to death,
They can get annoying from time to time
but they’re still there for you,
yup the one you can count on all the time,
is a good friend day and night

Gymnastics

The jumps,
The Twirls,
The backflips,
and frontflips,
To feel the breeze,
I flip here,
I flip there,
I flip everywhere,
Flip,
   Flop,
       Turn around,
            Touch the ground,

and do a cartwheel now,
Get back up,
Try again,
and do a hand stand,
holding it steady for awhile, Fall on the floor,
and do some more,
dancing and playing its all the same in this little sports,
named, Gymnastics
